Awesome to see that cross-pollination between arguably the two most popular functional package managers on this level is still possible and seemingly even practical!
Looking forward to play around with this when time allows
Looks like this is vibecoded. Either way, it is an interesting idea. Though I think it would be more useful to have nix packages available to guix because of their sheer volume.
What about this specifically makes you think it's vibecoded?

They say so in a previous post relating to this.
I, with the help of Claude, built a tool to do just that: guix-transfer 🤯.
Interesting idea, but I get build failures trying to build /nix/store/6q4wczw41fysqyy94zkv5fv8sya0jxpp-patch-mesboot-2.5.9.drv, which looks like part of the bootstrap. That's going to be a build dependency for any actual guix package.
